The line between pop culture and political warfare has officially been erased. In a viral moment that has set the internet on fire, media personality and model Amber Rose launched a profanity-laced tirade against pop singer Billie Eilish, defending Nicki Minaj's increasingly controversial alliance with President Donald Trump. Appearing on a live stream with social media personality Sneako on Thursday, Rose did not hold back in defending the “Super Bass” rapper.

The controversy erupted when Amber Rose announced reports that artists such as Billie Eilish and Ariana Grande were allegedly distancing themselves from Minaj after her high-profile appearance at the Trump Accounts Summit in Washington, DC According to HotNewHipHopRose, who has become a vocal advocate for the “America First” agenda, used a derogatory slur to dismiss Eilish's stance.
“Who gives af**k … she's r*****d,” Rose said during the stream. “She could suck ad**k. That's how I feel about that. We live in a free country, who gives af**k.”
The timing of the outburst coincides with a massive week for Nicki Minaj. After her guest appearance alongside President Trump on January 28, the rapper took to X (formerly Twitter) to show off a “Trump Gold Card.”
“Residency? Residency? The cope is coping. Finalizing that citizenship paperwork as we speak as per MY wonderful, gracious, charming president. Thanks to the petition. I would not have done it without you. Oh CitizenNIKA you are that moment. Gold Trump card free,” She wrote.
Minaj even teased that she would be getting her citizenship soon. A move that Rose claims has been in the works for a long time. In a separate live session, Rose claimed that she and Nicki had discussed Trump privately for years, long before the rapper went public with her support.
“Look at her now,” Rose said, suggesting that she was the one who encouraged Minaj to meet with high-level political figures. “She changes the world.”
Minaj is doubling down on Trump support
While the internet was debating Amber Rose's use of the “R-word,” Nicki Minaj was busy declaring herself the president's “No. 1 fan.” During her DC summit speech, she addressed the backlash from the queer community and fellow artists head-on, stating that the “hate” only motivates her to support Trump more.
“We will not let them get away with bullying him. God protects him,” Minaj told the crowd as Trump looked on with a smile.
Amber Rose echoed this sentiment during her Sneako stream, arguing that it's hypocritical for rich stars like Ariana Grande to call for national shutdowns or protests against ICE when they have millions in the bank. “If you can go in and you can make a change and you can help people, you should,” argued Rose.
The fallout from Rose's comments was swift. While Billie Eilish has not officially responded, her fans have flooded social media to condemn Rose's use of state locks and her defense of the administration's immigration policies. Conversely, the “Barbz” and the MAGA base have circled Amber Rose.
